True Devotion to the Holy Virgin
Today the Church celebrates the 100th anniversary of the appearance of Our Lady to the three shepherd children of Fatima, two of whom (Francisco and Jacinta) were canonized by Pope Francis earlier today. The homily below was preached by Fr. Hugh at the Montfortian Shrine of Our Lady of the Island on the occasion of a visit by one of the international pilgrim images from the sanctuary in Fatima.
This video is from one of the conferences of a retreat Father Hugh preached to the members of the Montfortian General Delegation of the Philippines. It includes an extended discussion and explanation of the important idea of Holy Slavery in Fr. de Montfort's spirituality.
Several hundred people joined members of the Company of Mary's Delegation of the Philippines for a series of activities to bring our Tercentennial Celebration of Our Founder's passing into glory to a joy-filled conclusion. The final activity was the "Dinner for a Cause" to support the formation programs for our young Filipino candidates and seminarians. Fr. Hugh has just posted a video of the Thanksgiving Invocation that was sung by our priests and aspirants at the beginning of the evening.

A happy and blessed feast of our Founder to all!
O God, you inspired Saint Louis Marie de Montfort
with a fervent desire to preach gospel of Christ to your people.
By his prayers on our behalf,
and under the guidance of the Virgin Mary,
may we always be docile to the Spirit,
and tireless apostles of your kingdom
in the service of our needy brothers and sisters.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

There is great value in making the Pentecost Novena which takes place during the nine days between the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord and the great Sunday of Pentecost. In fact, the nine days …
On this Ascension Thursday, we are conscious that one of the methods of praying the Rosary that we have from Fr. de Montfort asks for this grace through our praying of the Mystery of the Ascension: An ardent desire for Heaven, our true home. A good question to ask oneself today, then, is "Do I truly long for Heaven, or does this desire need to be stirred up and kindled anew in me that it might burn more ardently?"
This picture from our archives is a striking depiction of the way Fr. de Montfort's missionary spirit has reached into all parts of the world in order to announce the victorious and saving love of the Lord who gives himself to us through Mary.

A 2 minute preview clip from the new 3 DVD set, Presenting Total Consecration.
At the end of July the Company of Mary began a collaborative project with the Evangelization Office of the Diocese of Metuchen to produce an integrated set of resource materials for use in parishes and lay formation programs. Here is a sample from the first round of filming for a series of videos outlining the core content of the proclamation of faith.
This is the homily Fr. Hugh preached on the occasion of his farewell Mass at St. Mary Gate of Heaven Parish on April 28, 2012. The coincidence with the vigil Mass for Good Shepherd Sunday with the feast day of St. Louis de Montfort presented the opportunity for a reflection upon our Founder's insight into the transformative power of the regular contemplation of the Lord in the Mystery of his self-giving.
This is an excerpt from the working draft of the instructional and training videos that we are putting together to accompany the new edition of Preparation for Total Consecration. In this video Fr. Hugh speaks about the overall spiritual and pastoral motivations that have guided the production of the new edition.
